I sit here contemplating the hindrance that is age and I find myself really feeling this piece. I’m about to question age as a factor in a bunch of guys who are my age. Kyle Beckerman is barely two months older than me, Chris Wingert, two weeks. I don’t really feel old, yet. I don’t feel twenty or even twenty-eight, that’s for sure. But we’re not old, are we? I do have a rapidly-expanding bald spot and my beard’s streaked with gray. Sigh.
Therein lies my concern. Nick Rimando is the third oldest player in the league behind Tim Howard and Andrea Pirlo.
